Today we celebrate the 11th Sunday in OT and Father’s Day. On this Father’s Day we are praying for our dads, whether they are near or far away, living or deceased, and especially for the dads here in our congregation.
The message which 11th Sunday has is very important even we don’t hear it so often. It is that the Kingdom of God or our faith in God comes from small thing which seems to be insignificant. But God is in control of that. He gives us the power to grow, and He is the only source of that inner power which we call mother nature.
The Eucharist which we now celebrate is the special prayer to our Heavenly Father which we are doing by and with his Son Jesus Christ.
“The Kingdom of God is like a mustard seed…”

Reflections
- Recall a small beginning that has blossomed into fruit–a change in someone close to me that I did not expect, a change in my own attitude or outlook of life. How patient am I with myself? with others? How easily do I give up?
- How do I view the church today? Disappointed, anxious, frustrated? How should I view the church?
